WOMEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK HUNGRY FOR IMPROVEMENT The energy in Ted Wilson Gymnasium has been positive to begin the season. The players put in a lot of work during the offseason on the court and in the weight room.

“I give my team a lot of credit for last year, fighting through all the adversity and finding a way to still enjoy the season. But we don’t want to do that again.”

Fundamentally, the ‘Cats are hitting shots and making reads that they weren’t quite able to nail last year. Five seniors, one junior and five sophomores, two with freshman eligibility, return with another year of collegiate experience under their belts. Those returners have taken six talented freshmen under their wings to show them an improved version of what it means to be a Linfield basketball player.

“I’ve liked a lot of things. They’re working hard. They’ve been grinding. The chemistry is good. They’re gelling a lot more quickly this year compared to last year.”

nothing changes if nothing changes

The Linfield women’s basketball team follows a new creed in 2022-23, entering the season with a clean slate and a refreshed mindset by kaho akau ’19

T

he Linfield Wildcats look to make strides that will stack more games in the win column. But that’ll be difficult to accomplish without first changing their sense of urgency and intensity during practices and non-conference games.

“We’ve mixed up our offenses and threw in some defenses that fit who we have in our personnel. We’re hoping for the best, and so far, so good,” said eighth-year head coach Casey Bunn-Wilson.

The win-loss records from a year ago weren’t an accurate depiction of how competitive Linfield was on the court. In many cases, the ‘Cats were a few key moments away from turning Ls into Ws. The goal this season is to clean things up and limit extra opportunities for opposing teams.

“A gift and a curse last year was that we were in a lot of our games,” Bunn-Wilson said. “Some of those games, we were right there and lost by 10 points or less. Hopefully we can get over that hump and capitalize.”

GAME TIME

november 12, 2022

SETTING THE TONE The success of any college team starts with the senior class, and this year’s seniors have kept the rest of the team in check.

Alexis Heald, Jordan Worthington and Janessa Yniguez all saw significant playing time last season. Heald started all 24 games, finishing second on the team with 26.5 minutes per game. The reintroduction of Paige LaFountain, who missed the 2021-22 season, will be a nice addition to the Linfield backcourt.

“Paige will be great for us at the point guard position.

She’s steady and even keeled. She brings a lot of experience and her basketball IQ is high. We just need to get her back to the level of competitiveness that she was used to playing, and she’s getting there quickly.”

Due to NCAA regulations, the players spend much of the offseason running workouts without the coaching staff. As seniors, their jobs are to keep the team organized and get their teammates to where they need to be both physically and mentally.

Every little intangible act contributes to not only building team culture but maintaining it as well.

“They make sure we’re implementing our culture and program expectations without coaches there. That’s where I think they’re the most invaluable.”

YOUNG NO MORE Last season’s freshman class was one of the bright spots for Linfield. Gillyan Landis, Elyse Waldal and Rowan Cusack all had starting opportunities and were forced to mature quickly.

“They know what’s coming and know what to expect in a long season. I’m excited to see how they develop and continue to grow. I’m expecting a lot more from everyone.”

Landis was named an honorable mention to the allNorthwest Conference team. She started all 24 games,

WOMEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK leading the ‘Cats with 11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 74.6 percent from the free throw line. Landis scored in double digits on 12 occasions and led the NWC with 32 blocks.

Waldal led Linfield with 22 three-pointers, connecting on 28.9 percent from beyond the arc. She averaged 7.7 points and four rebounds per game. Cusack finished with 43 assists and 24 steals. Her buzzer-beater three-pointer on Feb. 4 gave Linfield its lone win of the season, a thrilling 62-59 victory over Whitworth in McMinnville.

Anna Dazey and Riley Cusack, twin sister of Rowan, are still freshmen in terms of basketball eligibility. Both provide a boost of speed and energy in the backcourt. While speed continues to be a strength for the ‘Cats, the height and athleticism of the freshmen will certainly play a role in the team’s success.

“Our freshman class is talented. They’re long and athletic.

We’re going to be a little taller this year, so that’ll be good.

Just like every freshman class, they’ll take some time to get there, but they’re going to be competing for minutes.”

ON THE HORIZON Linfield opens the season today inside Ted Wilson Gym. The ‘Cats will host the NAIA’s Oregon Tech Owls before heading to College Place, Washington, to take on Walla Walla on Nov. 15.

“I’m looking forward to our team executing our offense, bringing the energy and playing hard,” said Bunn-Wilson.

“We’re quick and athletic and are hoping to run and do things to offset other teams’ size and physicality. We have a huge emphasis on rebounding and defending.”

The ‘Cats will be at Pacific’s Ken Schumann Classic on Nov. 19-20 and UC Santa Cruz’s December Classic on Dec. 16-17. They will open NWC play in Oregon, hosting crosscounty rival George Fox on Dec. 2 before playing the Boxers in Forest Grove the following day.

MEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK

quest to be the best Linfield returns to the court this week to resume its run as one of the top Division III basketball programs in the West by joe stuart ’20

L

infield is set to return to the court this week and resume its run as one of the top Division III basketball programs in the west.

After winning back-to-back Northwest Conference championships the past two full seasons, the program’s first consecutive league titles since 1978, the bar has been raised for men’s basketball in McMinnville under now 10th-year head coach Shanan Rosenberg.

But after graduating three all-Northwest Conference players last year, it is time for young players to both step up and develop to keep Linfield in the mix at the top of one of the most competitive conferences in Division III basketball.

“I think the leadership of our older guys has been great, our overall team speed is the best we’ve ever had. A lot of new players are filling im-portant roles, fast,” said Rosenberg.

“Whenever you lose any players that put up bulk numbers some-body has to fill that void. So, we’ll see, I can’t point to any personnel, it will kind of emerge organically and whoever the better players are for us will emerge over time. But we’ve had a number of guys improve significantly since last year and with another double-double and career high 23 points against I expect them to do very well.”

George Fox later in the season.

Bonine, a fixture in the Linfield rotation since his freshman THE GUARDS season, was hampered by injury to start last season but ended It all starts in the backcourt for the Wildcats with guards up starting 18 games and finished fifth on the team in scoring at Trey Bryant, a sophomore, and Carson Bonine, a senior.

6.8 points per game, adding 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists.

Bryant burst onto the scene last year to start 24 games for “Carson’s effort and approach and his leadership with the the Wildcats on the way to the NWC title, and is the only reteam has always been consistent. His shooting has been the turning player to have started 20 or more games last season. biggest concern for us and after he came back after that injury As a freshman, Bryant averaged 9.8 points per game, last year, he never quite shot the ball as well as I think he’s fourth on the team, while shooting 53 percent. By the end of capable of. That’s something this year that he’s been doing the season, he led Linfield in rebounding at 5.8 per game and well thus far,” said Rosenberg. assists with 3.7 and was second on the team in steals and “A lot of the things he provides and does day in and day blocks playing 30.8 minutes per game. out have been exceptional and really make us better,” said “Starting and playing and doing the things he did, he’s Rosenberg. “But his offensive play this year has been at the level demonstrated that he can be an exceptional player and perwhere we need it to be for him to be a consistent impact player.” form well on a big stage. I just look forward to his continued Junior Jackson Dupree could see an increase in playing growth,” said Rosenberg. time and ex-pectations this season. As a spark plug off the “What makes Trey extraordinary is his approach. He’s all bench last year, he aver-aged 5.2 points and 2.6 rebounds about the team and yet he also knows there are times when per game while shooting 56.8 percent from the field in 12.9 he can take some risks and make some plays that other minutes per game. Dupree made strides during the stretch run people can’t, and we need him to do that at times. It’s a hard of the season and saw his minutes rise to 16.3 per game over thing to do as a freshman and with good efficacy and he’s doing the final nine contests. more of that this year.”

“Jackson was playing bulk minutes for us down the stretch Bryant’s numbers cracked the top five in the NWC in asand did very well.

MEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK Juniors Jacob Hjort and JT Estes and senior Jack Stallard could provide valuable minutes in the backcourt as well.

Freshmen TreyVaughn Bierlink, from Quincy, Wash., Chase Bennett out of Moraga, Calif., and Anthony Flint of Durango, Colo., could all see opportunities to contribute quickly in their first collegiate seasons.

through both his junior and senior seasons at Roosevelt.

There’s a bevy of young forward talent behind those two as well, with three others joining the Wildcats this year along with Petrovic, including 6-9 Logan Morrill from Astoria, Ore., 6-7 Braedyn Benhard out of Santa Ana, Calif., and 6-6 Philip Rosenfeld from Portland.

THE FORWARDS Seniors Alex Jackzo and Reece Gibb are set to lead a young but talented group of forwards as the only upperclass “bigs” on the roster.

Jackzo was a key contributor for the Wildcats last season, averaging 14.5 minutes and starting five games through the course of the season.

He averaged 5.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game and blocked nine shots throughout the course of the season. His 67 percent mark on field goals led the team.

Gibb provided crucial shooting ability off the bench last season, shooting a team-best 37.5 percent from three and 85.7 percent from the free throw line. He also collected five blocks and five steals through the season.

Sophomore Cayden Lowenbach saw limited time last season due to injury and inexperience, but the Crook County High School product re-mains a tantalizing prospect off the bench and should factor into Linfield’s rotation.

Danilo Petrovic, a 6-5 freshman from Roosevelt High School of the extremely competitive Metro League in Seattle, will likely have a role immediately at the start of the season.

Petrovic averaged a double-double in points and rebounds

YOUNG ‘CATS, OPEN OPPORTUNITES With three all-conference players leaving the program and nine incoming freshmen, this season holds plenty of learning opportunities and chances for young players to make an impact, as well as time for the veterans on the team to model the high expectations held in the Linfield basketball program.

“You have to be patient, you have to model the way things are and what those guys have learned in their three or four years here,” said Rosenberg of his returners. “I think iron sharpens iron and so as guys are playing with great effort, keeping their emotions in check, being focused during practice and really working on concentration and engagement and being present, that will certainly help model and demonstrate what we need out of our young players.”

“All young players struggle with processing the game, all young players struggle with the speed of the game, those are just universals. There’s just a lot to learn, they’ve got a lot going on in their lives in general, and now they’ve got a whole new lexicon, system, relationships, etc.”

“But that being said I think we’ve got a really talented group of younger classmen and I expect we’ll probably play more younger players this year than we have in quite some time.”

MEN’S COACH SHANAN ROSENBERG Shanan Rosenberg is in his 10th year as Linfield men’s basketball coach. Since taking over leadership of the program, Rosenberg has guided Linfield through a “worst-to-first” transformation, capping it in 2019-20 with a share of program’s first Northwest Conference title since 2001. Linfield followed with a second co-championship in 2021-22.

Under Rosenberg’s direction, the Wildcats have reached the NWC Tournament in four consecutive seasons, ending a seven-year playoff drought.

In nine seasons as head coach, hIs career record at Linfield stands at 116-99 overall and 74-64 in NWC play.

Rosenberg has twice been named Northwest Conference Coach of the Year. His first league honor came in 2017 after guiding the program to its first winning season since 2008 and first conference playoff berth in five seasons. The most recent NWC accolade came in 2020.

That season, the Wildcats went 20-6 and were crowned conference co-champion during a run that included victories over nationally ranked Whitman and Whitworth on consecutive nights. In a six-season span after taking over the program, the Wildcats elevated their conference record from 2-14 to 14-2.

Before arriving at Linfield, Rosenberg was head men’s basketball coach for 11 years at Foothill College, a two-year college near Palo Alto in the south San Francisco Bay region. At Foothill, he compiled a 186131 win-loss record. His 2012-13 team went 22-5, achieving the best regular-season finish in program history.

Prior to taking over at Foothill, Rosenberg spent three years as assistant head coach at Lewis & Clark from 1998 until 2002, a period when the Pioneers won two Northwest Conference championships and reached the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III playoff tournament.

He received a bachelor’s degree in physical education from UC-Davis in 1994 and went on to earn a master’s degree at Chico State in 1999.

A native of central California, Rosenberg starred in basketball at St. Francis High School in Mountain View, leading the Lancers to a Central Coast Section championship in 1988. As a student-athlete and three-year letterman at UC-Davis, he earned all-North Coast Athletic Conference honors while leading the Aggies in rebounding his final two seasons.

Rosenberg and his wife, Sarah, have three sons: twins Walt and Clyde, and Gus.

From the weekend warrior to the elite athlete, we are ready to get you back in the game. We will work closely with you to help create a treatment plan geared to and focused on you.

We are proud to serve as the team physicians for Linfield College, McMinnville High School and the See Ya Later Foundation.
